Aw–Cracklin’ Rosie get on board
…
Hitchin’ on a twilight train, ain’t nothing here that I care to take along, maybe a song; to sing what I want. Find us a dream that don’t ask no questions [marriage], yeah!
Lord, I love my Rosie child, she got the way to make me happy. You and me we’ll go in style. Cracklin’ Rose you’re a store-bought woman, but you make me sing like a guitar humming, so hang on to me girl the song keeps running on.

I get it: the “poor man’s old lady” lost her to a debt [maybe a gambling debt]; Reno stations played him round the clock in the seventies into the eighties.
